Brighton and Hove Albion manager resigns
Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club have accepted the resignation of manager Oscar Garcia.
Garcia met with the club earlier today, to formally offer his resignation to the board, which has been accepted. He has also informed the club's players of his decision.
Garcia said: "The club has been aware of my thoughts for several weeks and during this time I have had discussions with both the chairman, Tony Bloom, and chief executive, Paul Barber.
"I have enjoyed my time with the club but, although I do not have any immediate plans, I have decided to move on.
Chairman Tony Bloom said, "We are extremely grateful to Oscar for his efforts this past year, and for providing us with another exciting and memorable season at the club."
Brighton failed to reach the play off final after losing to Derby yesterday.
Brighton's play-off tickets available tomorrow
Having successfully secured a place in the play-offs, tickets for Brighton's home leg versus Derby County - which takes place on May 8th - will be initially available tomorrow morning from 9 o'clock to all season-ticket holders.
But Brighton and Hove Albion is warning fans to act fast as seats must be bought before 2pm on Monday 5th May. The club doesn't think the tickets will be available for general sale.
For those wishing to attend the away leg, at Derby County on Sunday 11th May, tickets will also be available tomorrow from 9am.

Brighton secure a play-off place
Brighton and Hove Albion have secured a place in the Championship play-offs after winning 2-1 against Nottingham Forest.Read the full story ›
Brighton secure play-off place
Brighton came from behind against Nottingham Forest to secure a play-off place. And it's thanks to a dramatic stoppage-time winner by the Seagulls' top scorer, Leonardo Ulloa who headed home Craig Mackail-Smith's cross from closs range.
Brighton 2-0 Yeovil
It was a good night for Brighton who secured three points with a two nil win against Yeovil in the Championship.
Goals from Lua Lua in the 78th minute and Lingard in the 90th minute gave Brighton a victory.
Footballer guilty of homophobic gesture
Former Blackburn Rovers footballer Colin Kazim-Richards has been found guilty of making a homophobic gesture during match.
Kazim-Richards claimed he was bantering with the crowd when he made the gesture towards them while playing in Brighton against one of his previous clubs, a court has heard.
The 27-year-old father of two young children was on loan to Blackburn when he was seen making the gestures during Blackburn's Championship match against Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on February 12 last year.
Brighton to host England game
It took more than a decade to build but since its opening in 2011, Brighton and Hove Albion's Amex stadium has gone from strength to strength.
It's already set to host games in next year's Rugby World Cup and, it was announced today, it will also stage England Women's football team's next World Cup qualifier.
Andy Dickenson met England Captain Casey Stoney, England goalkeeper Siobhan Chamberlain, and U19 prospect Paula Howells.
Brighton head to the next round of the FA Cup
But the visitors went for the jugular as Neal saved well from March before Orlandi had a goalbound shot charged down.
Jake Caskey's fierce drive then forced an even better stop from Neal with Vale working hard just to stay in the tie.
Kemy Agustien was next to go close for Brighton when his 64th minute shot crashed against the overworked Vale goalkeeper's right-hand post. Adams brought on strikers Ben Williamson and Jordan Hugill to chase the game, but the visitors countered with a deserved third goal 12 minutes from time.
Ince's first time ball sent Jon Obika sprinting clear of the Vale defence and the on-loan striker from Tottenham rounded Neal and rolled a left foot shot into an empty net from 12 yards.
FA Cup victory for Seagulls
Promotion-chasing Brighton, with Tuesday's trip to Burnley in mind, made seven changes to the team beaten at Derby last weekend.
And the surface water caused by a pre-match thunderstorm will also have been to Vale's liking with the sodden pitch another leveller.
Much of the early play was bogged down in midfield and a couple of long range efforts by Brighton's Jon Obika and Rohan Ince proved harmless.
Andrea Orlandi went closer when his shot on the turn veered just wide of Chris Neal's right-hand post with the visitors gradually turning the screw.
Neal then had to get down smartly to keep out Solomon March's powerful shot before Brighton broke the deadlock in the 27th minute.
Orlandi delivered an outswinging corner from the left and Ince cushioned a classy left-foot finish high inside Neal's left-hand post from 12 yards

The stimulated Raman effect of benzene has been observed using an ordinary (nongiant) ruby laser. The build-up of oscillation at the v2, 2v2, 3v2and 4v2Stokes lines and also at the first v1Stokes line have been observed. The threshold exciting power for laser action in the v2Stokes line has been measured to be 9.5 kW. A rate equation for the Raman laser has been given, and the total scattering cross section for the v2Raman line of benzene has been determined as σ = 0.46×10-28cm2. The estimation based on the results of this investigation indicates that it is possible to construct a Raman laser of benzene using an Ar gas laser.

I was always concerned about the consumption of animals, and once I was out of college and more in charge of my diet I decided to go vegan. I read a few books which outlined the abuse of animals, chemicals involved in processing and damage factory farms are not only doing to the environment but local farmers and I decided to take myself out of the cycle. I also enjoy cooking so the challenge of seeking alternative ingredients and using more veggies and spices was something I was looking forward to.
I would like some potlucks, going to events around CO, and checking out recidpes.
Hi, I am Stephanie a vegan and new to Colorado. I would love to meet some fellow compassionate vegans and have some fun :)

Thousands to converge on Tempe for P.F. Chang's marathon
TEMPE, Ariz. — Over 20,000 people from all over the country are expected to converge on Tempe this weekend for the 10th annual P.F. Chang's Rock n' Roll Marathon.
Maria Walton of Phoenix is running in her 10th marathon and said it's still a thrill.
"I love sunshine," she said. "I love being with my friends. You share an experience that so few people in this world do, sadly. It's just a celebration of being outdoors. There's not a greater place to be."
She's one of 170 runners who have run in every Phoenix P.F. Chang's race since 2004. This year's event features both a full- and half-marathon, a bike tour, live music and an expo at the Phoenix Convention Center, among other things.

So the G7 met in Japan this past week. And the media did in fact pay some attention to it. But the attention was largely for the wrong reasons. This caucus/club was often in the past dismissed by those not invited to the party. Countries and experts alike referred to the G7 as the 'Rich Man's Club'. The emergence of the G20 – at the time of the global financial crisis – redirected attention to this Informal as opposed to the G7. There was criticism of course. Media, experts and representatives of those countries not included reflected on the lack of legitimacy, failing to be universal, self-identification, etc. But the G20 was never attacked for being a narrow interest as the G7 had been. The G20 was the first, and remains the most notable global summit platform of established and emerging powers. Indeed at the time of the G20's creation, there was much discussion of the likely passing of the G7 summit. Obviously that didn't happen.
Category Archives: Global Governance for G20/G8
A Good Week for Diplomacy
It is jarring. It shouldn't be, but given the strategic actions of the leading state, it is. We all have gotten so used to the exercise US military muscle (or not), especially in the Middle East, it is shocking almost, to see diplomacy in the lead. It takes some getting used to. So the Iran deal has been concluded. As Robin Wright described it in The New Yorker:
The agreement is the Obama Administration's boldest foreign-policy initiative. It marks the first success in dealing with Iran since its 1979 revolution and the prolonged seizure of the American Embassy in Tehran.
A Few Surprises – But Just a Few at Brisbane
A few surprises are worth mentioning – and then there were a lot of non-surprises. On the not a surprise side. Well start with headlines from most of the international press. Early headlines focused on the cool reception delivered to President Putin by various Western leaders and then the early exit of Russia's President. Putin left before the collective lunch and before the release of the communique following the lunch. All-in-all reasonable political theatre but little to do with the G20 agenda.
Struggling to Steer – The G20
After serious progress at APEC among the leaders, what can we expect from this weekend's G20 leaders meeting in Brisbane. The continuing knock on the G20 as a "talkfest" continues. Chris Giles of the FT, no fan of the G20, declaring:
It leaves the G20 as something of a forum for grandstanding, bilateral meetings over geopolitics and impotence on world economic affairs.
There are repeated warning from media and other experts that the G20 has somehow reached a watershed. Ben Doherty at the Guardian has declared: "This week's Brisbane meeting of the Group of 20 will be a crucial test: can it be a genuine agent for change, or just another tired horse on the merry-go-round of international confabs?"
'High Season' for Global Summitry
So we are about to enter high season in the global summitry calendar. First up will be the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation scheduled for Yanqi Lake just outside Beijing proper on November 11 and 12, 2014. This is in turn followed by the ASEAN Summit (technically not a global summit) where the day following is the global summit meeting called the East Asia Summit (EAS). This Leaders Summit includes 18 Asia-Pacific leaders now that Russia and the United States have been added as of 2011. The meeting this year will take place in Naypyidaw the capital city of Myanmar. And with a final burst of energy Leaders will meet for the G20 Leaders Summit on November 14-15th in Brisbane this year. It is a tight schedule designed to allow leaders to attend all three and then to return to their home countries.
Geez Globalization is Dying Too!
Well it certainly has not been 'the best of times' – particularly not if you've been reading the international pundits. And indeed there is a lot of tension, strife and conflict in the international system whether in the Middle East, or in Eastern Europe or in Asia in the South China and East China Seas. No matter where you look it seems you can find these nasty conflicts.
It's Broken Too! Another Look at Global Governance
Having just looked at the global economy, and more precisely, the efforts of the great powers, in significant measure through the G20 to avoid a new Great Depression, I thought it might be useful to turn my sights on another critical area of global governance – in this instance trade.
It's Broken Too! Or Is It?
So the assessment of what is broken, and what is not, at the global governance level continues among the experts.
First a rare corrective to the gloom-and-doom assessments particularly from the international media.
Dan Drezner recently released his book examining the response, especially of the G20 to the Great Recession. The book is entitled – The System Worked: How the World Stopped Another Great Depression.
It is Tough Exercising Global 'Concert Diplomacy' Leadership – Part I
Today's realities demand positive international cooperation. Shared global challenges require creative multilateral solutions. Annual world leader summits like the G-8 and G-20 are free from the traditional trappings of fixed institutions like the United Nations. These gatherings adapt more easily to shifts in power, influence and political alignment.
The above is from the current Stanley Foundation website. I have had the great pleasure of working with various individuals and experts from this serious and effective US foundation.
The Stanley Foundation (TSF) has been in the multilateral business for quite some time. As its website identifies, the Foundation began programming in 1960.
The BRICS Start a Second Cycle
Much anticipated, the second cycle of the BRICS Leaders meetings commenced in Fortaleza Brazil on July 15th. And as expected the first really concrete contribution to international development got off the ground – the BRICS Bank called the "New Development Bank". This will change how many view the BRICS.

Automating object snap selection
Automating object snap selection
After jumping in and out of the Object Snap menu several times, you may be wondering if there's a faster way to select object snaps. In this lesson, we'll look at how to set Running Object Snaps. On my screen, I have some abstract geometry. Let's say that all of these three-sided objects represent unfinished squares. To close up these shapes, I'll need to use the Line command and I'll have to select a lot of end points. I'll start by launching a line and then I would like to create my line segment from the--Shift, right-click to bring up the Object Snap menu. I'll choose endpoint and I'll snap to the endpoint of this line. I will then Shift, right-click, choose endpoint, and I'll snap to the endpoint of this line.
When I'm finished, I'll press Escape. I'm sure you'll agree that opening the Object Snap menu for every object snap can be a little tedious. Instead, what I'm going to do is pick a couple object snaps that I use frequently and I...

Off-Campus Housing:
If you sign up for it UT will send you emails of all of the available houses condos and apartments near campus with prices!
Health & Safety:
UT has many systems in place to assure that students are safe on campus. Many campus hotlines are available 24/7 and a SURE walk system is in place that if a student is going to walk alone they can call SURE walk to have a group of students to come walk with them
Drug Safety:
Drug and alcohol visibility only at parties, not on campus. UT is a smoke-free campus. The Geek Life it what contributes to most of the drug and alcohol scenes.
If you've never heard of Longhorn Football and Mack Brown.....you must live in a hole. The UT community loves everyone of their varsity sports, lighting out beloved tower is a priority. Campus roads shut down on sports days just to account for the tailgating on campus. I could say that UT has one of the most spirited schools out there
Local Area:
Everything is in walking distance from UT Austin whether it be going to eat at the hip restaurants on the drag or hitting the nightlife only a short 5 min bus ride down the street. Austin always has outdoor activities such a Barton springs pool and zilker park, and i must say the hiking experience in Austin is amazing. I want to live in Austin for the rest of my life.
Getting money through the fafsa was one thing but, dealing with UT financial aid was another. The wait took awhile but they were able to get me money that i needed to pay for school and i really appreciate that. they were always there to help and had knowledgeable staff on duty
Greek Life:
Many of the Greek students only socialize with other Greek students. They're houses are nice but they travel in packs and its kind of annoying.
A group on campus called YCT was holding an "event" on campus called something to the extent of "catch the immigrant"The campus and community came together to stop this outrageous event to show that UT Austin is of the most racial, ethnic, and religiously diverse campuses
As a public university, diversity is expected. But UT prides itself on diversity of all kinds and it shows. Everyone can find the group they fit into.
Greek Life:
Greek life is a huge part of UT. Both Greeks and non-Greeks are usually respectful of one another.
Off-Campus Dining:
Austin's culture itself promotes various local businesses and restaurants. Of course there are the usual chain restaurants, but there are many more Austin-exclusive places to eat.
Campus Housing:
On-campus housing is not too bad. There's plenty of events and easy access to everything on campus.
Party Scene:
There is a party going on almost every night of the week and if you don't want to party with college kids, downtown is always rocking.
Drug Safety:
Because it's a college campus, there is alcohol everywhere, but most students respect you if you don't want to drink.
Campus Food:
There's plenty to eat on campus from various fast food to a dining hall.
Off-Campus Housing:
Off campus housing is available everywhere. There's cheaper options about 15 minutes from campus and the more expensive is right across the street from the campus. I have lived off campus both years so far and have not regretted it at all.
For the most part, students are involved in sports. Athletics are in a slump right now so the lack of student support is showing. But when big teams come to town, the students show up.
Local Area:
There's always something to do whether it's on campus or downtown.
Campus Quality:
UT has it's own traditions and everyone's opinion is respected.
Campus Quality:
There is over 1,000 registered student organization so there is a place for everyone. The athletics are top notch in the country and the student recreational sports are readily available. The PCL Library is huge and there are many computers.
Students behave so well that most of the rules don't really need to be enforced.
Health & Safety:
High quality. Always available to students in need.
Very strict on honor code. Alcohol and drug use strictly prohibited in the dorms.
Very hot in the summer. Pretty cold in the winter
Pretty straight forward but still a hassle nonetheless.

Most students agree that they have loved their time here at UT, and they wouldn't want to be anywhere else. College is the best time of your life, and I can't think of a better place to spend it than at the University of Texas. Students get a great education while having an awesome college town with everything at their disposal. Don't try to graduate early. Enjoy your time at UT—go cheer on the Longhorns at all the home games for all sports: football, basketball, baseball, intramurals. See the amenities that the Forty Acres has to offer—the Harry Ransom Center, go to our libraries and see our more than eight million volumes. Go to Gregory Gym and the Rec Center—you have a free gym membership for four years or more—use it.
I came to UT convinced that I was going to transfer to a school in California in the spring. I spent two days here before school started and I never wanted to leave, even to go home and visit my parents and high school friends! I couldn't leave because I was always afraid that I would miss something because there was always something exciting going on. If you are worried about the fact that UT is so big, don't. All you have to do is find your niche, and everything else should fall into place. You can find it within your dorm, apartment, organization, fraternity, sorority, or classmates. Although, at times, it may seem overwhelming, UT is not nearly as big as it sounds. All you have to do is make friends, which you will, and the campus will seem infinitely smaller. Come join us!

What teen passengers and drivers think.
Diary of a teen driver.
Yesterday I had the honor of attending the White House Healthy Kids and Safe Sports Concussion Summit with President Obama. Why is this issue so important that the President hosted a summit? Too many kids are being kept from playing the games they love because of injuries that we can predict and prevent.
"I lost my best friend because we didn't buckle up."
No one starts their day anticipating getting into a car crash. But teens like Presley teach us that it only takes one time riding in a car without bucking up for a life to be changed forever.
More than 80,000 people are treated in hospital emergency rooms for skateboard-related injuries every year.

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's WeeklyThis colorful, small collection of recipes from Bocuse, a talented and internationally recognized chef, will appeal mainly to his fans. Attempting to offer French homestyle recipes interesting enough for experienced cooks but simple enough for novices, it is adequate for both audiences but perfect for neither. Bocuse trots out the standards here, with appearances by boeuf bourguignon, poached pears in wine, onion soup and creme brulee. Such recipes as baked apples, lamb chops with potatoes, and farmer's cheese with herbs Lyon-style convey a sense of homestyle cooking. However, snails Burgundy-style and poached chickencalling for a large truffle, foie gras and half a sweetbreadwill look like restaurant fare to Americans. The color photographs are a jumble of the decorative, the informative and the useless. Bocuse wrote Paul Bocuse's French Cooking, etc. (October 26)

Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
Re: Linux Saves Money and umm some numbers...
This article (PDF) is a nice start on the sorts of TP calculations that need to be done to push computer systems into the enterprise, however it leaves out user training. As a real world example, you will need to factor in both training for the new system, and productivity loss for users unfamiliar with the new system.
Specifically: The reason MSO has a lock on the office market is that all office workers "know" MSO. (Reality is irrelivant, they think they have assimilated ...) The fact that a half dead zombie can figure out most of OpenOffice (writer?) from being familiar with either MSWord, or Documentation principles is irrelivant. You will need to send most users to training to move them to another office productivity solution. If they stay with MS, the only new thing they need to know is how to kill clippy. (Yes, I am suggesting that most new features of a new MS office will be unused unless you get sharepoint.)
Unrolling my handy TPulator:
250 users who need the basics of x new Productivity apps: assume x=2 (write & spread), 25 users/class, 8 hours/class: 10 training sessions of 8 hours: one trainer & one tech: average near $30/hr (am assuming internal staff), perhaps $3K in staff costs + equipment rental and setup costs.
Now figure out how to calculate productivity loss for the next six months while someone whines and moans.
In addition: 50 users for a modern server is a croc. Assuming a terminal server (MS type) you should be able to get about 50 users (with mso) to use office on a P4 2GHz. Someone needs to do a real calculation for this so the analysis is not laughed at.
Using this survey as a base, and my trusty TPulator: Linux will save an organization MOVING to it on the order of 15% over a few years. ASSUMING all applications have equal availibility. (COINCIDENTALLY THIS IS WHAT MS CLAIMS FOR TS)
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
What would be the result if the staff wages and consultant fees were divided by about three? I live in Argentina, and our salaries remain constant in pesos, our local currency that has suffered a devaluation to one third of its original value, but Microsoft software prices remain in dollars. I think that in this scenario Linux has a greater advantage.
Responses to the latest batch of questions
1) Anon. stated:
There are only 250 users! 1 Win2K server can easily handle this. Even get two for full redundancy and employ MS AppCenter. Same for Linux, hardware cost for both should be reduced equally for this overkill. Take $15,000 off the MS total for the unneeded Advanced Server licenses.
- - -
We used the generally accepted norm of 50 file-print users per server, and sized the servers accordingly. In essence, the less hardware costs you put in the calculations, the cheaper Linux comes out.
2) Shawn stated:
Why does only the Microsoft solution get an industry leading, enterprise capable database solution? Lets tack on Oracle for the Linux solution as Oracle was good enough to port it for us. Add approx $100K to the Linux totals. Plus an Oracle DBA to run the beast.

We didn't just throw databases into the equtation for the fun of it. The commerce and portal servers from Microsoft mandate the SQL Servers, thus their inclusion. For Linux, there was a need for PostgreSQL and MySQL, which is what the ecommerce and portal software mandated, thus thier inclusion into the study.
3) Anon. stated:
Say $25,000 for a top of the line package with MS-Exchange integration, inbound DID routing, OCR capabilities, integrated workflow, least cost routing, Outlook integration, Brooktrout support etc. Installed. Hey anybody know where I can find equivalent in Linux? Anyone wanna provide a quote on assembling, writing and installing the same on Linux?
- -
In over 11 years of servicing 300+ customers of many sizes, we have not encountered this as a business requirement. Not even for massive organisations. If email fax intetgration was needed, then we could have added the $25,000 that you state onto the Microsoft platform side of the equation, and Hylafax ($0) onto the Linux side.
4) Anon. stated:
Commerce SErver? Subtract 13K$
I dont see what the MS Commerce Server is for. Is this for the Company web site? Its probably $13,000 of unneccessary cost. And it indicates
that SQL server is included in it, so presumably, you dont need SQL server as well.
- -
Many 250+ sized organisations have a products and service online marketing and sales delivery platform: an e-commerce server. We added one in for both Linux and the Microsoft optioned models.
5 File and Print servers is ludicrous!

Re: Linux Shortchanged!!!!
Even better, why not stick on MySQL for free!
Re: Linux Shortchanged!!!!
UNFAIR! Free the source, man!
Lets add FAXing!

Hey anybody know where I can find equivalent in Linux? Anyone wanna provide a quote on assembling, writing and installing the same on Linux?
have you ever seen about Groupwise?
are you speaking about groupworking or about only fax managing?
if you speak about groupworking have a look to the original application that have created the idea of groupworking and you can discover that now it works over linux environment: Novell Groupwise do everything Exchange want to do, and a lot of times do it better. and do much more things than exchange.
if you are speaking about faxes, look a little bit around more than a base hylafax solution: you can be surprised of how many different solution for different needing you can find...
Biscom has a fax server which
Biscom has a fax server which will do all that.
Re: Lets add FAXing!
Try VSI-FAX by Esker. We receive and send over 7000 thousand faxes a day on this thing and has never hiccupped once since we migrated the package off of NT and onto Linux!
It has several clients one of which works with Outlook. It can also handle fax submissions and responses in XML. We use this to send and feed fax info to and from our Oralce 9i databases. Everything has a price... you are correct. By the time you add the hadware components and the fax port licenses for an enterprise fax system you are probably near $25k.
Missing Costs
I think there should be some end user training costs in there. Unless we can assume knowledge of MS and Open office (no way).
The MS Training would probably be something like .5 day of novice training for 100 users at $200 per. 1 day of advanced training for 150 users at $1000.
Im having a little trouble finding Open Office training at my local training facilities though.
Commerce SErver? Subtract 13K$
I dont see what the MS Commerce Server is for. Is this for the Company web site? Its probably $13,000 of unneccessary cost. And it indicates that SQL server is included in it, so presumably, you dont need SQL server as well.
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
Good job on the cost side, except perhaps where companies are given discounts for volume purchases. This could reduce the cost of the Windows install, and does not benefit the Linux side at all.
The largest missing cost I see is the learning cost for employees. Immediately after a switch, average employee productivity will fall, as workers spend time learning the new system, rather than performing their tasks. In the long run, it will reach the same level (and possibly higher, but this is speculation). However, in a highly competitive business environment, if your firm is unable to satisfy customer requests because your workers can't figure out the system, business will be lost. Office compatible software helps, but does not eliminate the learning cost altogether.
No, John. No need for doom and gloom
Throwing good money after bad will cost. Switching to Linux from Windows will be cheaper in the long run.
I have switched people from using Mac systems to Linux in relatively short time. Most of the current popular Linux apps already emulate MS apps in terms of menus and short cuts. The task of conversion is not insurmountable.
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
While it will cost money to retrain employees to use Linux applications, you will ultimately save substantial money over the constant retraining required with MS' gratuitous changes for each new release. Each new release of Windows, for example, has new management tools, new network naming schemes, etc., REPLACING the older ones (probably because the older ones, e.g., NetBIOS names, were badly designed in the first place). Meanwhile, the Unix skills I learned running UTX/32 (Unix on a Gould minicomputer) in 1985 are still good! In moving to Linux, I had to learn how to use only the NEW applciations, e.g., Apache, Samba, StarOffice. The difference in the amount of untraining and retraining required can amount to quite a bit of money.
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
Since I am a pubblic school teacher, a 250 computer setup seems to fit the bill. So let me tell you briefly about school districts.
1) the district level technician who came into my classroom to install the nov(h)ell client on the piece of s*** winbox i have to use to do attendance and grades couldn't figure out how my laptop running linux could access the internet in my clasroom since "novell doesn't support linux".
2) It is almost two years that we have had a blade server down in the server room hooked into the MDF yet no student has server space due to license costs. When i suggested a samba solution, that i would take care of, they said "our network doesn't support linux".
I could go on. simple reason for this idiocy. they don't know linux, and are protecting their turf. they don't care about our school's needs, nor our budget, they care about their own asses.
studies like this will help a great deal to convince the pols at the schoolboards to use open source solutions.

Big educational discounts from MS
When you tack on the educational discounts available from Microsoft, its a no-brainer.
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
Get the kids involved! It would be a great project for them to take idle hardware and convert it to something useful. Hmm, but then you might be accused of tampering with the schools computers and tossed in jail, so make sure you get permission first :>
Re: Give this to the CFO!
Rob, please print out copies of this document, and send them to all fiance and executive managers in your schoold district. That's the only way to get movement. This study is not intended for IT managers.
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
Good Job!
It is this kind of information, that which appeals to business decision-makers, that wil make the difference in Linux adoption. I am also pleased that the focus was on small (250 staff) businesses becuase this is the area of greatest promise for Linux!

Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
Something you forgot to include in your comparison is the cost of converting existing documents into formats that are compatible with Linux applications, which could be a substantial amount of time and money. If there were free Linux applications available that were MS Office compatible then problem solved! Maybe that's where open source applications developers should focus their attention.
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
That is the great problem that collaborators LINUX had still not perceived.
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
Check out Lindows...
You can loose the OS license fee but still use Office.
OpenOffice solves that problem neatly
With the free Open Office or the big brother with support Star Office you can read and write all the MS offices files. If you convert them to the new file formats you will even save a hard disc or two in file size reduction..
Re: OpenOffice solves that problem neatly
I tried openoffice, Staroffice, abiword and koffice all these aplications has few problem when it comes to graphs, block digrams and flow chart created using MS office and few applications tend to even crash the pc when tried to open large files(i tried to open rfc) and consume a lot of resources.
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
you mean like openoffice.org, abiword and koffice? (although OpenOffice.org has probably got the best MS Office filters at present).
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
Yeah, right--I tried both Staroffice and OpenOffice, and they balked on simple Excel spreadsheets and screwed up Word documents. Compatibility is NOT there yet, by any means. If this is the best the Linux world has to offer, forget it. At this point, I think the Codeweavers approach of running REAL Microsoft Office within Linux is the only acceptable approach for those of us who have no choice but the be "Microsoft Office" interchangeable--though I can't personally vouch for its effectiveness, as I haven't tried it yet.
what version of openoffice have you tried?
i've seen the problems that you've write in OO 1.0, but it was completely patched in 1.1 version of OopenOffice. have you tried it? i open Office documents in a day-by-day basis and i'vent any problem in formatting after the upgrade...
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
How about Staroffice or Openoffice? Both seem to have no problem in dealing with M$ Office file formats...
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
StarOffice and Open Office may deal with simple documents well, but when I looked at them conversion of complex Word documents was poor. The reality for many organisations may not live up to the hype, losing potential converts. Realistic appraisals are needed not wishful thinking.
Article misses the point.
No corporation buys a PC just to browse the web, exchange emails, or write a simple document. Corps buy PCs to help run their business. This means custom apps. This means someone must write them. There is an army of Windows programmers out there (be it VB or Powerbuilder or C# or whatever else), willing to write whatever you need for a reasonable cost. I work in a large corp (biggest bank in the world) and I know about 20 programmers that work here. Not one of them knows anything about linux programming, KDevelop, gcc or whatever else. I am sure you can find linux programmers out there, but they'll be more expensive (due to there being less of them, thus they can charge more). Besides no one develops business solutions in low-level languages like C, or even C++. Business world has moved on to Rad languages like VB.
So facts are as follows: while it is cheaper initially to replace Windows with Linux , it will cost you in the long term as far as cost of creating software for your business.
As far as using Linux desktops as Web Clients, that really is cheaper. So if your business software is web-based - there is very little reason to buy windows.
The only hope for making Linux as viable for the business desktop and custom solutions is C#. I hope it becomes successful and Miquel delivers his piece: this way you'll have all the people that are good at microsoft tools be equally good on Linux.
Re: Article misses the point.
>So facts are as follows: while it is cheaper >initially to replace Windows with Linux , it will cost >you in the long term as far as cost of creating >software for your business.
Not true.
Most graduates coming out of Uni have more experience programming in a Unix/Linux environment than a Microsoft one. Also, many skills of an experienced MS programmer are interchangeable with freely available Linux software, i.e. PHP, Python, C++. Programmers also have easy access to this software because it's free, easily obtainable and has no license restrictions. With a bit of experimentation, it wouldn't take a VB programmer long to pick up something like python and tcl, or a Cold Fusion programmer to pick up PHP, SQL programmer to pick up Postgresql, etc, etc.

Re: Article misses the point.
As a consultant in Portland I work with lots of different kinds of businesses, and I would say that there are in fact a lot of businesses whose primary computer usage is email and office applications (I certainly wouldn't call a bank typical in this respect).
While client-server applications which required Windows clients have been a common development paradigm for years, they are rapidly losing favor. This is not really due to the high cost of Windows machines so much as the high cost of help desk staff, who have to install, upgrade, and troubleshoot all those clients. Many people are switching to web-hosted apps, which of course means that a Linux client can run them as well as Windows.
Re: Article misses the point.
The major point you missed is that this study is for companies with only 250 people. You aren't going to have 20 developers in a company that size unless that's the business they're in. Companies that size will generally use off the shelf software instead of in-house development. That's where software vendors are going to score big. That's how Microsoft did it. They initially supplied to a large number of small companies before tackling the big enterprises.

Actually this is a misconception. There are just as many Linux developers as there are WinXX developers and the numbers are growing for Linux while remaining stagnent for WinXX. The main reason for this is that a vast majority of programmers coming out of University are coming up as Linux coders.
Your comment about business development being VB and such... Not for anything more than little non-production office/department tools. Business development is still done (get ready to cough) COBOL.
Re: Article misses the point.
And those people make bad applications if they cannot make most of them web based. If you really wan't that stuff you can use Kylix or even better Python which is easy and portable. The biggest problem in a BIG business is communication and Fat client side applications are a nightmare. Most new applications are web based with scripting or Java on the backend. FYI I work at a 40 billion+ corp. I like PHP but we are J2EE hog wild over here. Server side applications are easy to deploy, maintain, does not leave idle hardware around, uses less disk, simple version control and web based does not mean simple request response since all the application servers can maintain statefulness just fine. And there is no need to go to your cube to run your little application....and on and on. PC is great for home use but a total waste of money in a business setting that should have been thin client from the start.
Re: Article misses the point.
Delphi/Kylix i think is more well placed than C# and is much better RAD than VB... (may be also more widely used)
also FireBird (open-source version of Interbase) is very good pleace where u can move your Access & MS SQL data...
In fact Interbase run on many OSes plus in usa-army in a tank (i think it was M1 or something) and has many benefits comared to MS SQL..
Also u have a choice there is PostgreSQL and MySQL if u want...
Re: Custom Built Apps
Costing for such custom-built apps is not feasible for the document we have done. There is also no metric to indicate that Windows developers are faster or more cost effective than Linux/Unix developers. If anything, our experience indicates that for long term, design, develop, debug and maintain projects, Linux/Unix wins.
Re: Article misses the point.
Why C#?
C# is mostly just a ripoff of Java. Further, C# is new while Java is mature. C# may one day be cross platform while Java already is.
Finally, you can code in Delphi/Kylix on Linux as well as Java and not have to deal with c++ or gcc.
Re: Article misses the point.
Why C#?
Easy. There will be an army of developers who will know C# on MS tools and easily switch to implementation of C# on other platform. In addition, the Mono implementation of it will be open-source, which you can't say for Java.
I agree that C# is new and not as mature as Java, but it has been in heavy testing for two years now. Many web sites run it, several huge infrastructure pieces have been written in it (.NET framework, .NET compact framework, Mono, FreeBSD implementation of .NET), so it is safe to say that it is "safe"
Why not Java?
Because, in spite of "write once, run anywhere", it doesn't, and when it does, it doesn't compare to native code.
Finally, if you think that C# is just a ripoff of Java, you haven't looked at it closely enough.
Re: Article misses the point.
"Easy. There will be an army of developers who will know C# on MS tools"
Forseeing the future. Are you a psychic?
"In addition, the Mono implementation of it will be open-source, which you can't say for Java."
Kaffe is an open-source java, so yes you can say there is an open-source java much the same as mono.
"I agree that C# is new and not as mature as Java, but it has been in heavy testing for two years now."
Seeing as the language features still hadn't been decided by late 2000 how has it been in testing for 2 years.
"Finally, if you think that C# is just a ripoff of Java, you haven't looked at it closely enough".
Java is a garbage-collected object-oriented language with C++-like syntax implementing only single inheritance that runs on top of virtual machine. C# is a garbage-collected object-oriented language with C++-like syntax implementing only single inheritance that runs on top of virtual machine. Big difference there. There are some innovations in C# however. They have finally changed the C/C++/Java 'main' function to 'Main'.
Re: Article misses the point.
I beg to differ. First, you are living in a media-managed recent past, where there is a mass shortage of Linux programmers. There are today as much as 5 times as many Linux programmers as only 3 years ago. The rate of adoption is also increasing among YOUNG programmers. That's the key, any typical anti-establishment teen ain't gonna learn to program on Windows when he could program Linux. Espeially now that so many jobs are available..
Second, you forget the thousands of UNIX developers out there who control the world outside of the corporate office, in places like datacenters, large server installations, etc. These guys are empowered more than ever to push their technology across that growing category of services.
Third, you disregard the MASSIVE push my computer manufacturers (OEMs) like IBM, Sun, HP, etc. to get Linux in their offerings, and the MASSIVE rush by vendors to get their applications ported to Linux. They are doing the hard work in convincing bosses, and their integration partners (read: custom software developers) to move systems to Linux. It won't happen all at once, but there are only a few major custom software companies doing most of the work for large enterpises.
P.S. EVERYONE seems to forget that HALF of the IT market is among small and midsize businesses that grow into large ones. In my view, it will be those businesses who adpot Linux for cost reasons that really drive its adoption into large enterprise.
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
Here's one of the major holdups:
Vertical apps. Big stuff that is extremely expensive to change. (6 figure software cost, etc). Many are only supported on other unices (Solaris, AIX, HP-UX) or "business class" Windows. (NT, Win2K, XPPro.) If it is just a server, that's not so bad. What is worse is when they have windows-only clients. You either have to try to beg for a different client, try to finnaggle the client with WINE, or suck it up and keep windows on the desktop. Sucks, but true.
But keep it up... the more desktops there are, the more these providers will have to consider offering solutions on linux, or at least client software that'll run on it.
Re: Re Big Stuff
You mention:
Big stuff that is extremely expensive to change. (6 figure software cost, etc).
Remember, this is a 250-staff company. None of these firms that we have seen run multi-million dollar software items.
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
What exactly are these 'vertical apps' that people always seem to reference? Who wrote them? What do they do? We can't port 'em if we don't know anything about them.
My involvement with apps here at work (as an Embedded Systems Software Developer) amounts to:
Acrobat, Word and text Documents, email, spreadsheets, and development tools. Only the development tools can't be duplicated on a Linux desktop at the moment.
We (software developers) need to know what the business world needs for a move to Linux, and I'd bet that alot of us have never had any exposure to the apps that you are talking about.
Re: Linux Saves Money and the Numbers Prove It
I'm no Windows lover, but $75,000 for 250 Windows 2000 or XP Professional licenses seems high, at $300 per license. I got my copy for $140 with hard drive. It would be cheaper to buy a hard drive and a $140 OEM copy than to pay $300.
damn WINDOWS lover!!
I say we rig the results even further than they are!
Lets install Visio, MapPoint, MS Project, and a whole bunch more MS products on those workstations.
Those industry leading apps will really rack up the costs on the MS solution. Of course, the Linux solution starts to look a little shoddy when we include all those "just about as good" alternatives. Best leave it as is.
Re: OEM Licence Costs
We looked for all published licence costs on Microsoft's Web Site. We printed whatever was available. If they only alluded to some cost savings, without making any concrete figures known, we were not in a position to use the figures.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Who tends to get skin tags?
More than half if not all of the general population has been reported to have skin tags at some time in their lives. Although tags are generally acquired (not present at birth) and may occur in anyone, more often they arise in adulthood. They are much more common in middle age, and they tend to increase in prevalence up to age 60. Children and toddlers may also develop skin tags, particularly in the underarm and neck areas. Skin tags are more common in overweight people.
Hormone elevations, such as those seen during pregnancy, may cause an increase in the formation of skin tags, as skin tags are more frequent in pregnant women. Tags are essentially harmless and do not have to be treated unless they are bothersome. Skin tags that are bothersome may be easily removed during or after pregnancy, typically by a dermatologist.
Although skin tags are generally not associated with any other diseases, there seems to be a group of obese individuals who, along with many skin tags, develop a condition called acanthosis nigricans on the skin of their neck and armpits and are predisposed to have high blood fats and sugar.
Certain structures resemble skin tags but are not. Accessory tragus and an accessory digit occasionally can be confused with skin tags. Pathological examination with a biopsy of the tissue will help distinguish skin tags if there is any question as to the diagnosis. Continue Reading

The staff were friendly, approachable and very helpful. The room was fantastic, a great size with a large double bed and a decent size pullout bed. Sliding doors revealed a kitchenette which was sleek and stylish as well as useful. The bathroom was lovely and everything was very well maintained and extremely clean.
The location was great, 10 minute walk to the the tube station and Hyde Park. I wouldn't hesitate to book another stay at this hotel.

Like Romare Bearden's collages, Musson brings together a spirit of formal experimentation with a deep-rooted cultural awareness. The title of his canvas Knowledge God may refer to the 1995 song of the same name by Raekwon, of the Wu Tang Clan. The repeated patterns of the Coogi fragments echo like musical phrases across the canvas, creating a sort of sweater sound collage. Just as Bearden's collages often evoke sense of communal ritual (as in his series, The Prevalence of Ritual), Musson draws on shared reference points that span high-brow to low-brow to create visually arresting and thought-provoking work.Read More
